The economy and NPC Recruitment at very large/competitive Greek schools

[lemony]

I agree with everything KSUViolet said, but I'd also like to throw in that I've noticed the economy has affected membership retention more than it has affected recruitment/PNM numbers in general. While more and more women find the sorority option attractive, the increasing dues begin to take a toll over time (whether it's during new member quarter or even during her senior year), and are sometimes too much of a financial burden to continue sorority membership.
